Finally, We Can Sleep at Night!

Justice will prevail in Jerusalem. Israel's President Moshe Katsav has agreed a plea bargain to avoid rape charges and a prison term, the country's attorney general has said. Katsav had been facing allegations of rape and sexual harassment against women who worked for him.

"Under the bargain, President Katsav admitted responsibility for a long series of sex offences, including harassment and indecent acts," he said.

He is now expected to get a suspended sentence for sexual harassment and be asked to pay damages to his accusers. Mr Katsav's current term ends in July but he will now resign immediately, to be succeeded by Shimon Peres. Oh Joy! Joy. Joy. Peace will reign at last.

Uh-huh!
